We all know serving sizes are a lie. Here's another one. You're browsing the hair dye aisle because you have more grey than actual colour these days and it takes you awhile before you finally make a hopefully rightful choice. End result is NEVER what is indicated on the box.
What are some other lies we are told?
How big the chip packet is compared to how many chips there actually are.
The size of Ice creams are laughable too now.
I switched to cheese cake and haven't looked back
The look on people's faces (in commercials) when they get into a new car.
Sure it's cool, but not euphoric.
Thatβs the same as βpeople eating saladβ face in ads
There is so much chewing involved in salad eating.
OMG yes!!!!
It's fucking lettuce Janet. Calm your tits love.
I've gotten into new cars and my first reaction is puzzlement. What the fuck are all these buttons for.
The Twelve Apostles along the great ocean road is an egregious lie. I demand a refund.
Give us your bank details. I'll refund you.
How good a maccas burger looks on tv and how big it is but in reality they're super small.
Also the perfect basket of french fries.
Nope, didn't get that either.
I said the same thing to Spinny!
My burgers come out huge yet the burger places burgers look like someone has run over them.
Any fries are perfect fries (okay except the soggy kind)
The menu picture vs what actually comes out!
Yes. Those ads with the latest burger some cunt's tryna flog looks like a mountain with lashings of bacon. When you get it, there's 2 scrawny bits and looks like it's been slam dunked into the bag.
